There are many ways to represent a Costing
of a new product, however in principle you need to cover all the costs associated
with the development, capital expenditure, direct costs and overhead (variable and
fixed) recoveries and make a margin suitable for the planned level of sales.
In the 'New Product Development' life cycle
you may first complete a costing estimate over a discussion with key
project players, this may also include suppliers before trial work is approved.
You may even decide it is best to sub-contract out, or decide the product is not
going to be profitable from the very outset.
Preliminary Costing allows you the ability
to have an informed visible process that gives you the base to make sound
business decisions that also have built-in decision gateways that give you control.
We can help with procedural development
around this function and also help with the calculating
all the costs attributed to the product; research, product development, testing,
associated direct costs and indirect costs, showing work centre efficiency information,
yield information and waste information.
